ZENO is an open-source, Node based 3D system able to produce cinematic physics effects at High Efficiency, it was designed for large scale simulations and has been tested on complex setups. Aside of its simulation Tools, ZENO provides necessary visualization nodes for users to import and run simulations if you feel that the current software you are using is too slow. Open-source node system framework, to change your algorithmic code into useful tools to create much more complicated simulations!

To build ZENO from source, you need:

• GCC 9+ or MSVC 19.28+, and CMake 3.16+ to build ZENO.
• Qt 5.14+ to build the ZENO Qt editor.
• (Optional) TBB for parallel support.
• (Optional) OpenVDB for volume nodes.
• (Optional) Eigen3 for solver nodes.
• (Optional) CGAL for geometry nodes.
• (Optional) CUDA 11.6 for GPU nodes.

Hint: WSL is not recommended because of its limited GUI and OpenGL support.
